Announcing Rustcrab: The Repository for Rust Developers That Isn't Crap
You might think I'm diving deep into Rust with what I've done so far, but that was just the beginning. Trust Francesco.
It's Time for an Announcement
I've officially started a new project called:
"Rustcrab, the repository for Rust Developers that isn't crap"
This project aims to create a free, open-source resource dedicated to the Rust programming language.
I will only share meaningful information about the Rust community, resources, news, projects, dev tools, and as much as possible. The project is 100% open-source and free.
What I've Done So Far:
Bought the domain using NameCheap
Created a Next.js project and deployed it to Vercel
Linked the custom domain to Vercel
Created a very minimal page that includes light and dark modes, real-time GitHub stars, and social profiles
Integrated Substack email (it might be improved in the future, but for now it works)
Thanks to AI's support, all this was done in just a few hours. It's incredible how AI can speed up the process if you know what you're doing but want it done quickly.
This is how it looks right now. It's pretty basic, and not much on it, but I will keep working on it.
What's Next:
Feel free to check the GitHub repository: Rustcrab GitHub Repository
Why All of This?
Well, because this is basically what I have been doing every day for more than six months: checking @dailydotdev, organizing things, making private lists and notes, and so on. I think it's time for this project to be more open and accessible to everyone.
I will also create a separate channel on Discord for discussions.
If you are interested in this project, subscribe to the newsletter and star the repo (only two stars now).
I will update you in the next few days.
The project aims to make your life easier if you want to get involved with the Rust community, resources, and updates. Rust is not for everyone, but if you want to make a bet on the future of your tech career, this is a great opportunity to stop making excuses and get started.
Disclaimer
For now, it's not even worth checking, but I've learned that the sooner you launch, the better. Feel free to add issues in the GitHub repository, and I will work on that. I can also do some work live.
Well, that was a long post.
If you reached the end, that already means a lot to me.
Thank you
